Gaga has been dating Christian for over a year, and wearing a diamond engagement ring for months.

Rumours of their engagement began swirling in November, but it wasn't until this week that she finally confirmed it by calling Christian her "fiancé" in her speech.

It was an emotional night for Gaga, who was introduced on stage by Jennifer Lopez.

J-Lo had gushed about her fellow star as she welcomed her to the podium, telling the audience about her impact on the industry.

She said: "When they tell us to stay in our lane, we make a new one."

Gaga, who was reduced to tears, told the audience: "'I don't know if I'm working it right now.... In truth I tried to memorise this speech because it's so beautiful but you give me hope, thank you Jennifer for that beautiful introduction, you're an inspiration to so many."

The Born This Way hitmaker also revealed she was wearing a suit rather than a gown to symbolise the adversity she's overcome.

She said in her speech: "As a sexual assault survivor by someone in the entertainment industry, as a woman who is still not brave enough to say his name, as a woman who lives with chronic pain, as a woman who was conditioned at a very young age to listen to what men told me to do, I decided today I wanted to take the power back. Today I wear the pants."
